Oscar Castano-Colque, 22, who fatally stabbed Rafioullah Malik on a bus after violently pursuing his ex-girlfriend, had his life sentence reduced from 25 years and six months to 24 years. This decision came after judges agreed that his original sentence was excessively harsh considering his guilty plea for murder. The attack in Oxford Circus was premeditated, driven by his obsession with his ex-girlfriend. Malik ultimately died in the hospital weeks after the attack, emphasizing the tragic outcome of the violent altercation.
Oscar Castano-Colque, who murdered Rafioullah Malik during a bus attack after stalking his ex-girlfriend, had his minimum life sentence reduced from 25.5 years to 24 years.
Appeal judges ruled Castano-Colque's original sentence for the murder was 'manifestly excessive,' adjusting it after he previously pled guilty at Croydon Crown Court.
